The courtyard door of An's house was wide open, Lin Yanniang stood at the door and looked into the distance, she had been late in the morning in the past few days, fortunately there were no elders in the family, so she wouldn't say anything.

When the two black dots came from a distance, and finally saw the faces of the two of them clearly, Lin Yanniang immediately turned around and went into the house to go to the kitchen to heat the meal.

White rice porridge with oil residue tofu rolls, and a plate of refreshing pickles, An Jinyun and Yun Qiang just entered the house, Lin Yanniang also extinguished the open flame in the stove and changed it to a dark fire.

"Yan Niang, we're back. ”

An Jinyun and Yun Qiang each went out with a bamboo frame on their backs in the morning, and now when they come back, not only are the bamboo frames full, but they are also carrying things in their hands.

Putting the cloth towel in her hand into the wooden basin, Lin Yanniang walked out with hot water, "Come and wash, I left you a meal, and you can eat it immediately." ”

An Jinyun and Yun Qiang heard her words and glanced at each other, they hesitated in the town whether to come back to eat or eat in the town, but in the end, they still chose to come back.

Lin Yanniang glanced at the bamboo frame, glanced at the things in the bamboo frame, and then watched An Jinyun and Yun Qiang walk to the main house with the things they bought back and put them down.

After the two of them washed up briefly, Lin Yanniang had already brought the food specially made for them.

Finely chop the white tofu, mix with the crushed golden butter residue, add the shallots, salt and mix well.

Roll out the flour into a large dough, then put the filling on and spread it, finally roll it and seal it, put it into the pot along the edge of the pot, add a small amount of water, wait for the water in the pot to boil dry, take out the tofu roll, cut it into sections with a knife, the bottom is crisp and hard, and the top is soft.

An Jinyun ate three tofu rolls in a row, and then said to Lin Yanniang, "This tofu roll is really good." ”

"Today, the village chief's house grinds tofu, and Boyuan specially sent it, but you are not there, and you left without entering the door. ”

An Jinyun is not at home, Lin Yanniang is the only one at home, Li Boyuan naturally will not enter the door, Lin Yanniang said this, but she deliberately told An Jinyun.

If someone saw Li Boyuan coming to her today, they wouldn't dare to say anything.

However, hearing that the tofu was made at home, An Jinyun's eyes lit up.

"Is our family going to do it?"

This tofu roll is really delicious, he went to the town today, and he really didn't see any tofu sold.

"Yes, I soaked the beans this morning, and I'll wait for my dad to do it. ”

Almost every family in Wankou Village will have someone to make tofu, even if no one in the family knows it, and some people in the family of close relatives can do it.

Father Lin knows how to make tofu, originally he was going to make some for his daughter and son-in-law, but now that there is one more person in the An family, Lin Yanniang thought about it and decided to make tofu by herself.

"Okay, tomorrow I will help my father grind beans with Yunqiang. ”

After An Jinyun finished speaking, he picked up a piece of tofu roll, Yun Qiang swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Lin Yanniang and said with a smile, "Cousin-in-law, today I bought a leg of mutton with my cousin, half a pig, and a hundred catties of white flour and twenty catties of white rice. ”

Listening to Yun Qiang's words, Lin Yanniang smiled and nodded, Yun Qiang's meal is large, and the amount of food she and An Jinyun eats is just the same as her and An Jinyun's, and the things you bought today look like they are too much, and they will actually be eaten quickly.

Lin Yanniang picked up the bowl in front of Yun Qiang and bought him a bowl of porridge, then looked at Yun Qiang again, "Did you go to see the doctor?"

"Hey, hey. Yun Qiang smiled, and under Lin Yanniang's surprised gaze, he said, "The doctor said that I eat well and don't need to take medicine." ”

As soon as he said that he didn't need to take medicine, Yun Qiang was very happy, and it was precisely because of this that An Jinyun and Yun Qiang would buy all the money they were going to buy medicine.

"Yun Qiang didn't finish talking just now, I also bought brown sugar and red dates, and kept your steamed buns. You said that the students were coming to pay their respects to the New Year, so I bought more candy and kept them for the year. ”

Lin Yanniang had already told him that he would prepare for the New Year at the beginning of the year, and after today, the town's market would be closed, and they bought a lot of things today, including a few things that Lin Yanniang specially explained.

"Well, you think thoughtfully, you rest in the afternoon, change the water for the beans in the evening, carry it to the ancestral hall early tomorrow morning, Dad will come to make tofu in the morning, let's eat it casually at noon, and eat delicious food in the evening." ”

Lin Yanniang's father can make tofu, Lin's mother will make a lot of tofu dishes, and Lin Yanniang has also known these dishes since she was a child.

Her cooking is delicious, that is what she is willing to give up oil and condiments, these are things that she will only know a few years after marrying An Jinyun in her previous life.

"Well, the snow has stopped, and Yunqiang and I are checking at home. ”

Hearing Lin Yanniang say that she would be ready to eat tomorrow, An Jinyun's eyes lit up, Yun Qiang held the bowl and smiled, after his mother died, the master did not dislike him for being able to eat, and now there is one more person.

Lin Yanniang's big vat for soaking beans is not particularly large, and Lin Yanniang doesn't plan to make a lot of tofu, the people in the village make tofu, that's because the family is poor and can't afford to eat meat during the New Year, so they make more tofu to eat, but her family can't.

An Jinyun and Yun Qiang are both meat-loving people, just look at the things they bought today.

I bought a lot of meat, and gave more than two catties of lard fat, Lin Yanniang refined the plate oil into oil, and the oil residue was put away as before.

A piece of pork liver, Lin Yanniang is ready to wash it and marinate it, keep it for the New Year, marinate it, and cut it into a cold dish.

An Jinyun and Yun Qiang rested for less than a quarter of an hour, and when they saw that Lin Yanniang was busy, they immediately joined in.

"Okay, okay, if you are really idle, go to the backyard to drag firewood to chop, these days, the firewood at home is used quickly.

”

Lin Yanniang gave an order, An Jinyun and Yun Qiang immediately went to chop wood, and Lin Yanniang continued to pack up the things An Jinyun bought.

Everything had to be put away separately, mutton and pork were directly frozen, and before freezing, Lin Yanniang cut two catties of meat and prepared to keep it for tomorrow's dishes.

Lying on the bed tired at night, An Jinyun hugged Lin Yanniang's small waist distressedly, "Yan Niang, thank you for your hard work." ”

Lin Yanniang hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when she heard this sentence in a daze, she laughed out loud.

"I have watched my mother do these things for more than ten years, except for the youngest years, and I have watched it for more than ten years, and I am a little tired, but every family is like this. ”

Starting today, there will be two or three days in the village to make tofu, and when it comes to the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, it will be really busy for the New Year.

Waxing, pickling things to take out, but also to prepare noodles steamed buns, steamed buns, wait until the twenty-nine, to start preparing the next day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Listening to the description in Lin Yanniang's mouth, An Jinyun thought of these as a painting in his heart, and he slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Yanniang was still sleeping, and An Jinyun and Yun Qiang carried the barrel and vat to the ancestral hall next door.

In addition to the stone mill in the ancestral hall, there are only five families in the village that have a large stone mill, and the Lin family does not have it, but Lin Yanniang's uncle and the Zheng family have it, and it is far from the An family to other people's homes, but it is close to the ancestral hall.

An Jinyun and Yun Qiang didn't know how to use stone grinding at first, and the two of them were studying hard, and Father Lin appeared beside them without warning.

"Daddy!"

After An Jinyun spoke, Yun Qiang also greeted Father Lin with a smile.

An Jinyun was taken aback by Father Lin's arrival, seeing him like this, Father Lin laughed, "This stone mill is the largest in our village, and it is also the most strenuous one, if you are not too far away, you can go to my cousin's house." ”

As soon as Father Lin's words were finished, An Jinyun shook his head, he and Yun Qiang had strength, they were still close to home, and they could hear Yan Niang's troubles.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to leave, Father Lin smiled and guided the two, An Jinyun and Yun Qiang are not stupid, and they have both practiced martial arts since childhood, the beans are ground very fast, and after grinding the beans, Lin Yanniang will make breakfast.

"Dad, I made an egg cake, and I'm waiting for your soy milk. ”

The white raw soy milk with the smell of beany is filtered three times with gauze until nothing can be filtered, then poured into a large pot and boiled over high heat.

The egg cake was wrapped in crushed pickles, and after eating the cake, I drank a bowl of fragrant soy milk, and I dealt with it casually for breakfast.

Tofu dregs can be made into cakes, or stir-fried, Lin Yanniang's favorite is tofu dregs with an egg and a small amount of flour and oil residue to make cakes.

The freshly baked tofu residue was touched by Lin Yanniang's skillful hands, and the rough taste was immediately improved.

Soybean milk is cooked well, it is just a little marinade, how much marinade, how to order it is operated by Father Lin, An Jinyun and Yun Qiang asked shamelessly, and Father Lin was also happy to teach them how to do it.

The soy milk will be divided into two parts, and what they want is a milky white thing with a little shimmer that has been precipitated.

The frame that Lin's father took to make tofu, there are not many beans in Lin Yan's mother's house today, and after grinding, filtering and boiling, you can make a plate of tofu.

The soft tofu was put into a frame covered with white gauze, and when it was all laid, Father Lin covered the white gauze on the tofu.

Father Lin finally pressed down a wooden plank, and then covered the tofu with a large stone.

"Okay, move fast today, you can go to the box, I'll go back first. ”

As soon as Father Lin proposed to leave, An Jinyun walked to his side and stopped him, "Dad, Yan Niang's lunch is going to be ready, you can eat at home." ”

The old man was busy at his house for a long time, so he ate two egg cakes and a bowl of soy milk in the morning, and now he must be hungry.

"It's okay, your mother must have left food at home. ”

Father Lin was about to leave, so Lin Yanniang walked out of the house, "Just home cooking, it'll be good right away, Dad will go back after eating." ”

Today, I came to An Jinyun's house to make tofu, and Father Lin brought it himself, An Jinyun thought that when the tofu was ready, he would send his father-in-law back, and by the way, he would also send his things back.

"That's it, Uncle Lin, my cousin's meal is ready. ”

Father Lin was finally stayed, originally thought that he would be busy for a long time, but who knew that An Jinyun and Yunqiang were grinding beans fast today, and the meat cut yesterday became their lunch at noon today.

Roast radish meat, bean dregs cake, cabbage soup, the three men ate with their mouths full of oil, looking at Lin Yanniang sitting beside him, Lin's father sighed in his heart, if he continued to eat like this, his son-in-law's family would be poor sooner or later.

Father Lin thought about going back and talking to Mother Lin about it, so that Mother Lin could convey this meaning.

Lin Yanniang naturally didn't know that Father Lin just came to make tofu once, and calculated his family's expenses for a day.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law's extravagance, Father Lin was naturally worried about whether their silver would be lost.

You know, they're going to be ready to raise children!
